There is nowhere near enough here for a book. It's one single case study. <br /><br />I have no idea whether there's a Heaven but if there is, I won't be going there. I won't know anyone and since only good people get in, I'd have nobody to torment.<br /><br />I have a feeling that if there is truth in religion, my seat's booked.Romulus Crowehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09275578435620952450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13423684.post-89069942603565054072011-03-13T23:55:23.635+00:002011-03-13T23:55:23.635+00:00Since I have been there, naturally, I believe. How...Since I have been there, naturally, I believe. However, my experience was nothing like his. Because I didn't die, that may be the difference. I have to say, though, that from the first moment I heard about this, something about it did not sit right with me. <br /><br />'I remember Jesus, there's streets of gold and a lot of colours. I sat on Jesus' lap and then I just felt safe. God, he is the biggest one in Heaven, he can hold the world in his hands.'<br /><br />Gimme a break. This is straight out of Sunday school.<br /><br />First, they're trying to sell a book. That's reason enough to be skeptical. The publishing industry came to them? Then they truly are one in a million. But for sake of argument, let's say it's plausible. The publishing industry is dire straits these days. Too few people read. Borders just declared bankruptcy. Thomas Nelson, the publisher of this book, publishes Bibles and religious books exclusively. They saw an opportunity to sell a million books to pablum-minded sheeple, and <i>of course</i> they went for it. Wouldn't you?<br /><br /><br />Secondly, some kids love attention, and I'm sure this kid is being adored all over the place. The more he embellishes the story, the more praise he gets. I don't like the pictures of him beaming upward. Something about it rings false. <br /><br />Thirdly, is there any proof that the mother actually did miscarry a child? Medical records are fairly private (although, in case you didn't know, collection agencies see them all the time; I know for a fact because I worked in one for a while), and HPPA laws would prevent anyone from verifying it. Could the kid have just said he met his sister, and the parents jumped on it, thinking <i>Oooh. Good one. Let's go along with it"</i> ?<br /><br />Finally, where's the glimpse of Armageddon? He told us all about "heaven," did he tell us anything about The End? Or do we have to buy the book to read that part?<br /><br />This is a major eyeroll for me.<br /><br />Ver: squey<br /><br />Screwey is more like it.astrologymemphis.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08094432734141490681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13423684.post-84494923915145828302011-03-08T12:38:16.192+00:002011-03-08T12:38:16.192+00:00Very interesting indeed.Very interesting indeed.Regina Richardshttp://www.4badmommies.comnoreply@blogger.com
